WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT THE NEW WRITEPRO
What is The New WritePro®?

in America, Europe, and Asia?

• Experiencing the joy of being able to release the creativity you always believed to be within you.
Whatever your occupation and level of schooling or talent, you can take the most important step in becoming the creative writer you dreamed you might become.
The original WritePro® is being used successfully by many tens of thousands of writers in all 50 states and in 38 countries. The New WritePro® is an easy-to-use software program that actually guides you step-by-step in the creating of interesting characters, suspenseful plots, and sparkling dialogue. It eliminates writer’s block completely, enables you to avoid trial and error, mistakes, and you see proof of your improvement every day that you use the program..
Who Says So?
How about The New York Times, the Associated Press, Writer’s Digest, and the reviewers for many other news services and national magazines and the editors who make the selections for the Book-of-the-Month Club and the Literary Guild? (see reviews below)
Who Guarantees That I’ll be Able to Use it Successfully?
If your creative writing doesn’t improve within minutes, contact us for a refund anytime within 30 days of your purchase. The writers and reviewers who have tried WritePro® know that it works. You risk nothing --- and you have a world to gain, all your hopes and dreams of writing novels or stories successfully, as you are guided by the author of Stein on Writing, How to Grow a Novel, and Sol Stein’s Reference Book for Writers.
WHAT'S SO REVOLUTIONARY ABOUT THE NEW WRITEPRO®?
The New WritePro® employs what is widely acknowledged to be the best method for learning available. You use each new technique in your writing as soon as you learn it. Nothing is as stimulating as seeing evidence of your improvement on your screen, in your own writing, within minutes of starting.
At writer’s conferences and workshops, we meet users of the original WritePro® who tell us that in addition to the help they’ve had for their writing, they’ve gotten two additional benefits:
1.) They become much better readers.
2.) They become keen observers of what goes on around them, enhancing each day’s experience.
No More Re-Inventing the Wheel
The New WritePro® shows you interesting ways to develop plots from your characters. Other programs have you start with plot, which frequently produces hackwork.
Only The New WritePro® has The Dialogue Doctor™, which shows you how to convert ordinary exchanges into dialogue that springs off the page, your every word quided by the #1 dialogue teacher in the country. The New WritePro® has you writing and editing new scenes before the second lesson is over.
Reviews & Testimonials
"My impression over the years is that about half of the people who bought a computer did it because they wanted to write a book. They have an electronic mentor now. It is a program called WritePro."
— The San Francisco Chronicle
"These are valuable lessons for the would-be novelist. The manual is short, actually written in English, and practically unneeded. Working with WritePro could hardly be easier. This is a program for a writer."
— The New York Times
"Stein's teaching method is direct, intuitive, and truly interactive. [It is] immediately helpful. I am indeed raving about WritePro. WritePro is a nearly perfect educational program. It sets clear parameters and encourages its users to go as far as their creativity can carry them. And wasn't that what personal computers were supposed to do in the first place? ...[WritePro] seeks to teach skills and help writers hone their creativity in an environment that has been anything but conducive to such endeavors. To my pleasant surprise, WritePro succeeds on both counts to a startling degree."
— Computer Shopper
"Good news. I may have found the answer for all you new novel writers out there. It's a creative piece of software called WRITEPRO. This is what WRITEPRO does so successfully: It gets you started writing your own novel at your own pace--at home! No driving to class, no trying to figure out lessons from a mail order house. Imagine having one of the finest writing teachers always available for you right inside your computer. Just waiting for you to push a key so that he can get you started. Just waiting to show you all those 'secrets' of novel writing. WRITEPRO is terrific. It's a cinch to load--thanks to its design, it's all automatic. The price is right, too."
— Dave Ketchum, Scroll
"As easy to use as a typewriter"
— PC Resource
"You'll see immediate improvement. Stein gives you the tools to be your own editor. By the time Lesson Two is over, you have a story [with] well-rounded characters, a believable plot, momentum, and no cliches. I'm looking forward to the next lessons."
— Writer's Digest
"Now there's a creative-writing program that will teach you as much as anyone can about how to be novelist. WritePro is wonderfully straightforward in operation. The program will work for writers other than aspiring novelists; the principles of good writing are good for all kinds of writing."
— Nation's Business
"Here's good news: His software is excellent. His is an Expert System if there ever was one. Buy the program now."
— The Business Computer (syndicated) by Franklynn Peterson and Judi K-Turkel
"The bottom line on WritePro is that it's great!"
— NYPC Magazine
"First rate. If you want to write fiction, invest in WritePro 1/2/3/4. You can learn the tools of fiction without having to rediscover the wheel."
— Associated Press
"I am confident that if you persevere and pay attention to Stein's advice, it is possible you will end up with a marketable piece of writing (if getting published is your goal). Rest assured that I, your humble servant, will be waiting with bated breath to give [future lessons] a try."
— PCM Magazine
"Can you become a novelist in four easy lessons? All you really need to do is install the software and load it. In a matter of moments, you'll be hacking away at your first WritePro story. Sounds pretty nifty, doesn't it? Plug away at the lessons and one day--lo and behold!--you will have written that novel you've always wanted to write. It seems almost too good to be true. WritePro would most benefit a would-be writer who lacks technique but is driven by a creative spark, or an already skilled writer who wants to break out of tics and habits. This program seems about as goof-proof as a program can be. I have learned a good deal from it."
— Henry F. Beechhold, Professor Emeritus, Trenton State University, in Home-Office Computing
"If you are one of those people who feel the urge to get that book out of you and onto paper, WritePro may be the best [money] you've ever spent."
— Newsbytes News Service
"At the end, you have a creditable piece of work, and you've been trained by a pro. But most importantly, it's fun! If you're used to whipping out reports and other non-fiction, you may find a novelist you never knew existed. If you're out to enjoy or improve your fiction writing, WritePro's for you."
— The Editors, Computer Help, FOG International
"I have to admit that going through WritePro helped me remember some of the things I never knew I'd forgotten. I highly recommend it, whether you're just starting to write or whether you can just use some brushing up. [The rules] are easy to understand and easy to remember, and make these exercises a good deal of fun."
— James L. Collins, author of 19 novels, National Writers Club
"Outstanding opportunity for beginning or advanced writers from prize-winning teacher of bestselling authors. These hands-on interactive tutorials start students writing immediately. Great motivation as well as an education on the essential parts of the story and how they work together. Great story-starter instruction for individuals or groups."
— Learning Arts
"WritePro does it again!. In the past I've written about many unusual computer programs. However, only one has come up with a program that teaches you how to write a novel-- that's WritePro--The Sol Stein Creative Writing Program. It's about as straightforward and easy as turning on your computer. When I finished Mr. Stein's first four, I wanted more. The WritePro program is user friendly, menu driven, and filled with hundreds of writing hints and secrets you've always wanted to know. It teaches new writers important facts that can turn their creations into polished pieces of writing, and it can remind professionals of those little innuendoes of writing they might have forgotten. Important stuff for a writer. You can really see how your writing's improving as each lesson continues. The whole process is amazing."
— Dave Ketchum, Scroll
"I don't think I'm exaggerating if I tell you WritePro is perfect for everyone who has to--or wants to--write. The program is easy to install. It's automatic and friendly, includes six step-by-step lessons, each taking you further along the road to making dialogue come alive, creating expressive characters, devising and fleshing out plots, building beginning that hook the reader and using the computer to do my absolute favorite, "flab editing." The program's style is supportive and, with not much brain strain, offers results you can see almost immediately."
— Steve Bass, The Pasadena Star-News
"I am impressed with it. WritePro is a hands-on, interactive tutorial. Because it is interactive, it's much more involving than a book. It's a workshop on computer."
— Personal Computers
"WritePro is like having Sol Stein in the same room with you as you write, offering helpful criticism of your work as you go. As you take each lesson you not only write a complete manuscript but also learn how to become your own editor."
— Theresa Grant, Writer's Workshop Review
ABOUT SOL STEIN
 Through the programs described here, Sol Stein becomes your coach and editor, guiding you step by step in the creation and enhancement of your writing. The original WritePro (which had fewer lessons than the new version) was created in 1989 and over 100,000 writers in 38 countries have already benefited from the programs you'll learn about on this Web site.
Sol Stein edited and published some of the outstanding writers of the 20th century, including James Baldwin, David Frost, Jack Higgins, Elia Kazan, Dylan Thomas, Lionel Trilling, W. H. Auden, Jacques Barzun, and three heads of state. He is a prize-winning playwright produced on Broadway, an anthologized poet, the author of nine novels, plus nonfiction books, screenplays, and TV dramas. His novel The Magician sold over one million copies. His book Stein on Writing is now in trade paperback, and on tape, CD, and MP3. A more advanced writing book, How to Grow a Novel, has been selected by the Book-of-the-Month Club. Stein’s work has been translated into French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Finish, Danish, Dutch, Greek, Japanese, and Russian.
Stein has lectured on creative writing at Columbia University, the University of Iowa, and the University of California at Irvine, which presented him with the Distinguished Instructor Award in 1993 for his courses on dialogue and advanced fiction writing. Columbia University has established an archive for more than 1600 books published by Stein and Day, and an archive of Stein’s own manuscripts and his editorial work on the manuscripts of successful authors. In 1999, a distinguished panel selected by the Modern Library chose two nonfiction books edited by Stein in the top half of “the 100 best nonfiction works of the century,” James Baldwin’s Notes of a Native Son and George Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia. Native Sons (8/2/04) contains the correspondence that produced Notes of a Native Son, as well as newly-discovered photographs and their two collaborations, "Dark Runner" and the television play Equal in Paris.
Stein's play "Napoleon" won the Dramatists Alliance Prize for "the best full-length play of 1953" and was performed both in New York and California. With Tennessee Williams, William Inge, and Robert Anderson, he was a founding member of the Playwrights Group at the Actors Studio.
In 1962, Stein founded the book publishing firm of Stein and Day and served as its President and Editor-in-Chief for over a quarter of a century. In 1985, the "Writers' Yearbook" rated Stein and Day #3 of the top 50 U.S. publishing firms based on benefits to authors. Elia Kazan, director of five Pulitzer-prize plays and winner of three Academy Awards for directing, in his autobiography said, "My publisher Sol Stein was my producer, my editor Sol Stein was my director." Kazan's The Understudy is dedicated to Stein, "who saw what I didn't think possible." Books Stein published were on bestseller lists for nineteen consecutive years.
Stein holds degrees from the City College of New York and Columbia University. He is the creator of three computer software programs for writers, the award-winning WritePro®, FirstAid for Writers®, and FictionMaster®. His software is in use by over 110,000 writers in 38 countries.
Sol Stein has been interviewed on the Today Show, the Tonight Show, the Larry King Show, the David Frost Program, and the major interview programs in Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Hartford, Boston, New York, Paris, and London. Further information about Stein may be found in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in the World, and Who's Who in Entertainment.
